What is Angostura Orange Bitters?
Angostura Orange Bitters adds a zesty citrus twist to cocktails, enhancing their flavor profile with a blend of tropical oranges and spices. Interestingly, despite its name and orange flavor, this product doesn't actually contain any orange peel - instead, it derives its citrus notes from a proprietary mix of tropical fruits and herbs.
Why do we love Angostura Orange Bitters?
Angostura Orange Bitters stands out from other bitters with its vibrant, zesty orange flavor derived from hand-peeled Caribbean oranges, offering a bright citrus kick without the sweetness found in orange liqueurs. Unlike many orange bitters that rely on dried peels or essential oils, Angostura's proprietary blend includes exotic spices and botanicals, creating a complex and versatile flavor profile that enhances both classic and modern cocktails.
How do you drink Angostura Orange Bitters?
Angostura Orange Bitters shine brightest when used to add depth and complexity to cocktails, particularly those featuring gin, vodka, or light rum as the base spirit. While they can be enjoyed year-round, these bitters truly come into their own during warm summer evenings, perfectly complementing citrus-forward drinks and pairing beautifully with light, fresh dishes like grilled fish or summer salads.

Nose: Sharp citrus notes dominate, primarily orange zest and peel. Underlying hints of cardamom, coriander, and nutmeg add complexity. A subtle woody aroma reminiscent of cedar rounds out the bouquet.
Palate: Intense orange flavor hits first, followed by a blend of warm spices. Cinnamon and clove emerge, balanced by a slight bitterness. The mouthfeel is oily and coating. Traces of gentian root provide an earthy undertone.
Finish: Long-lasting and warming. The orange flavor lingers, gradually giving way to a dry, pleasantly bitter aftertaste. Spice notes continue to evolve, with star anise becoming more prominent. A subtle sweetness reminiscent of burnt sugar appears at the very end.
Angostura Orange Bitters are crafted through a meticulous process of macerating orange peels and spices in a neutral spirit, followed by distillation to extract the essential oils and flavors. What makes their production unique is the use of a secret blend of tropical botanicals and spices, alongside the orange peels, which gives these bitters their distinctive complexity and depth.
